Skullcandy Indy Evo
Score: 78/100
Tozo A1
Score: 74/100Rankings
The Skullcandy Indy Evo offers rugged IP55 protection, a long 30-hour total battery life and handy Tile integration for locating lost earbuds. It lacks wireless charging, active noise cancellation and its case is relatively bulky. It suits budget-conscious gym-goers and travelers who value durability and extra features over premium audio refinement.
The TOZO A1 earbuds are ultra-light, offering 7 h of playback per charge and a total of 32 h with the case, plus IPX5 resistance and Bluetooth 5.3 stability. They fall short on bass depth and lack premium features like wireless charging. Best for budget-conscious users who prioritize comfort and long total battery life.

Professional reviewers commend the Indy Evo for its rugged build, secure fit, and clear bass-forward sound with useful EQ presets, noting the rapid charging and Tile integration as strong points. However, they criticize the lack of active noise cancellation, the case's bulk, and minor driver inconsistencies, suggesting it's a solid budget sports earbud but not a premium audio solution.
Everyday users consistently praise the earbuds' stable fit, decent bass, long battery life, and added features like Tile tracking and EQ modes, while recurring complaints focus on the oversized case, occasional connectivity hiccups, and the absence of aggressive bass or ANC for very loud environments.
Professional reviewers commend the TOZO A1 for its feather-light, ergonomic design that suits small ears, the immersive stereo sound delivered by OrigX technology, and the reliable low-latency Bluetooth 5.3 connection. They also appreciate the long total battery life, IPX5 sweat resistance, and the extensive EQ options via the app. However, they note that the bass is under-whelming, the overall build feels basic, and the absence of wireless charging keeps the model from reaching premium status.
Everyday users consistently praise the ultra-light weight, comfortable fit, stable Bluetooth connection, clear call quality, and the IPX5 rating that holds up during workouts. Common complaints revolve around weak bass, occasional pairing hiccups, overly sensitive touch controls, and some reports of shorter than advertised playback time.
